7.0.18
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Zabbix 7.0.18 server on Debian 12 (as per Zabbix instructions)
- Add template ICMP Ping to Zabbix server host
- Wait a small moment and see zabbix_server.log
Result:
11773:20250826:165601.965 At least one of '/usr/sbin/fping', '/usr/sbin/fping6' must exist. Both are missing in the system.
11746:20250826:165602.032 item "Zabbix server:icmpping" became not supported: At least one of '/usr/sbin/fping', '/usr/sbin/fping6' must exist. Both are missing in the system.
In /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf:
# Default:
# FpingLocation=/usr/sbin/fping
# Default:
# Fping6Location=/usr/sbin/fping6
Fping binary locations:
$ dpkg -L fping | grep bin
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/fping
/usr/bin/fping6
Expected:
No manual configuration for fping binary locations should be required in the Zabbix server configuration.
